A PC motherboard is the main circuit board within a typical desktop computer, laptop or server. Its main functions are as follows: To serve as a central backbone to which all other modular parts such as CPU, RAM, and hard drives can be attached as required to create a computer
A case's motherboard and power supply unit (PSU) form factor must all match, though some smaller form factor motherboards of the same family will fit larger cases. For example, an ATX case will usually accommodate a microATX motherboard. Laptop computers generally use highly integrated, miniaturized, and customized motherboards.
Socket 479 (mPGA479M) is a CPU socket used by some Intel microprocessors. It is the socket used by the Pentium M and Celeron M mobile processors normally used in laptops, [1] but has also been used with Tualatin-M Pentium III processors. The official naming by Intel is μFCPGA and μPGA479M.
Launched by Google in February 2013, the Chromebook Pixel was the high-end machine in the Chromebook family. The laptop has an unusual 3:2 display aspect ratio touch screen featuring what was at its debut the highest pixel density of any laptop, [131] a faster CPU than its predecessors in the Intel Core i5, and an exterior design described by ...
LGA 1150 features a Fully Integrated Voltage Regulator.. LGA 1150, [1] also known as Socket H3, is a zero insertion force flip-chip land grid array (LGA) CPU socket designed by Intel for CPUs built on the Haswell microarchitecture.
[17] [18] Alternatively, some motherboard makers are including both AM3 and AM4 cooler mounting holes, allowing previous generation coolers to be used. [19] AM4 coolers that use a two-pronged bracket approach (such as the AMD Wraith Prism) to mount the cooler will work with AM4 and all the way back to Socket 754/939.
A voltage regulator module (VRM), sometimes called processor power module (PPM), is a buck converter that provides the microprocessor and chipset the appropriate supply voltage, converting +3.3 V, +5 V or +12 V to lower voltages required by the devices, allowing devices with different supply voltages be mounted on the same motherboard.
A maximum of two Pentium II or Pentium III CPUs can be used in a dual slot motherboard. The Celeron does not have official SMP support. There are also converter cards, known as Slotkets, which hold a Socket 8 so that a Pentium Pro CPU can be used with Slot 1 motherboards. [2] These specific converters, however, are rare.
